Biographies of Trustees
Jill Clark
Jill is the Chair and Founder of CancerWatch having lost her husband at the age of 46 to oesophageal cancer when her two children were nursery age. She has campaigned against cancer ever since and became aware of the lack of interest in preventing cancer before the disease develops, rather than treating it once the disease has occurred.
She therefore set up CancerWatch to remedy this failing and to make people more aware of the lifestyle modifications they can make to prevent cancer. Prior to her chairmanship of CancerWatch, she was a financial professional in the City.
John Kell
John is an experienced policy professional, having worked in the private, public and voluntary sectors over the last 20 years. This includes more than a decade in health policy, including 5 years as Head of Policy at the Patients’ Association. Having initially provided policy support to CancerWatch, John remains with us as a trustee.
Adrian Thompson
Adrian is a retired professional trustee. He has taken a keen interest in cancer since his mother was diagnosed with it over 15 years ago, and has recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer himself. Adrian was a school governor for 12 years (including 2 years as chairman) and has also served as a governor of an NHS Foundation Trust. He travels extensively but when at home splits his time between London and North Wales.
